Mason's Bayonne Guidebook
Sightseeing
Stephen R. Gregg Park is our favorite local park that has the waterfront promenade with views of Newark Bay and beautiful sunsets. You will observe fishermen, sailboats and cargo ships, planes landing across the bay. If you visit there during the day time, make sure you go all the way towards to north, where there’s a 40-acre wetlands preserve called “Richard A. Rutkowski Park”. There you will find a natural amphitheater with a quarter mile wooden walkway through a bird sanctuary, a peaceful place to observe nature. Great for a quiet walk, jogging or to spend time with the family!

Many people wouldn't think of Bayonne as a destination city, but if you're interested in marine activity, the piers on the Hudson River in Bayonne are the place to be. Now many who have gone to the Tear Drop Memorial in the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor (formerly the Military Ocean Terminal) and the adjacent Global Container Terminal. From there, you can get an unique views of lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, and the Upper Bay down to the Narrows and of course the maritime activities that one would associate with this important harbor.

Our favorite restaurant in Bayonne! They make authentic Mexican gastronomy in a great price. Our favorite dish is “Churrasco Asado” (grilled skirt steak served with Pico de Gallo, we suggest medium-rare). We also love their beef tongue, tripe, and grilled steak tacos. If you’re a fan of seafood, their grilled tilapia and grilled shrimps tacos won’t let you down. Give a try their weekend special “Pozole” (hominy and pork soup) if you go there during the weekend. Their soup is so good that we can have it every weekend.
